I noticed what I thought were a few changes, but its of course still turning heads.Yep, it will be a <em><strong>GREAT<\/strong><\/em> weekend.Turns out this car is owned by CART and Indy racer Paul Tracy! He always raced with #3. Believe it or not, this hot rod was NOT allowed into the show? Can&#8217;t figure that one out cause it was one of our favorites from last year. No worries though, Paul brought in 3 other cars that again, were some of our favorites. Pictures and story on the way.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m off for a cold one, but I can&#8217;t wait to share with ya more cool stuff as it happens this weekend.
